Photo Journalism
from the Golden Age
“That one becomes virile, distinguished, beautifully and magically enhanced is reason enough.”
Like most historical photos, these have made the rounds on the internet and now I gather them here. The first photo to ever grab my attention was of the man crouching down, his back tattooed with a very large hannya mask design. I later came upon this very image printed in a photo book, published in 1951, called TOKYO, on a five day pass; with candid camera by Horace Bristol.
